BOSTON (CBS) – The owner of a Cleveland Circle bar was arraigned on multiple charges Wednesday for allegedly instructing employees to carry an unconscious man outside after the underage patron was found at the bottom of a staircase in the bar.

John Rogaris, 44, of New York, owner of Roggie’s on Chestnut Hill Avenue, faces charges of witness intimidation, misleading police and destruction of evidence.

The bar and restaurant is a popular spot with Boston College students.

At the arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court, Assistant District Attorney David Bradley said surveillance video shows two people carrying someone out of the back door of Roggie’s about 2:30 a.m. on May 23.

According to court documents, Rogaris allegedly told the employees to take the victim to the back parking lot and call 911 but they did not call 911.

The victim, Dylan Fitzgibbon, appeared in court Wednesday wearing a helmet as a result of his injuries.

Bill Dailey, an attorney for Fitzgibbon, said the 20-year-old remembers gathering with friends and going out but the next thing he remembers is being in the hospital. He said Fitzgibbon has serious head and neck injuries.
